formatRelativeTime in TTTableMessageItem - iphone

I'm new to Three20, so this may seem like a very simple question.
How can I get the timestamp in TTTableMessageItem to be in relative
time format?
If it is not doable using TTTableMessageItem, what would you recommend
me to do to achieve that?
Thanks.

The function formatRelativeTime in NSDateAdditions is what you are looking for. Since this is a category function you can call it in on any NSDate object as long as you include NSDateAdditions.h in Three20Core

Get current time/date in purescript

This seems to me a weird question, but I have gone through the purescript-datetime and purescript-js-date and I just cannot find a way to get current DateTime. Is there some hidden library function or do I have to go through FFI?
You can use the now or nowDateTime functions from purescript-now.

Swift - How can I compare the values of a collection of variables?

I have 7 variables called averageMon, averageTue, averageWed, and so on, and I need to compare the value stored in each variable to see which holds the highest value. I've been looking around but haven't found a way to do this. I'm brand new to this, and I'm sure this is a simple question, but any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
If I understand correctly, just call the max function:
max(averageMon, averageTue, averageWed, averageThu, averageFri, averageSat, averageSun)

FireBreath: how can I pass dates from my plugin to Java Script

I'm trying to create a simple FireBreath plugin. I need to pass a date from JavaScript to my plugin and to get date from my plugin and use it in JavaScript.
I have an idea about getting date in FB plugin from JS. I can use a FB::JSObjectPtr parameter and get it's attributes with GetAttribute.
The main question is how to pass a date back to JS? The only way I can find in my head is to create class DateJSAPI derived from FB::JSAPIAuto an implement all methods so JS can use instance of my class as JS Date.
I don't like such a weird way.
Can anyone advise me some good way of returning date to JS?
I spent several hours once trying to find a way to create Date objects in a NPAPI plugin (specifically in FireBreath) and it seems the only way to do so is to create a javascript function that returns a date object. Given that you'd have to pass a string or timestamp into said function it seems silly to do this.
If I were you I'd just send it as a timestamp (number) so you can convert it to a Date object once it gets to javascript.

How to use CTTypesetterSuggestClusterBreak in Core Text

I am having trouble in using CTTypesetterSuggestClusterBreak function of CTTypeSetterRef class. I want to use this method to get closest word boundry near an index. I am having difficult in the implementationof this method, i.e how and where this method must be used.
I have been banging my head over this but with no success yet. If anyone can help me in using this method I would be very greatful.
Thanx in advance
I'm not sure CoreText is appropriate for this task; it sounds like you should investigate CFStringTokenizer instead.

How can I create or associate a super column to a column in Perl using Net::Cassandra?

How can I create or associate a super column to a column in Perl using Net::Cassandra?
I just chatted with the module author and he doesn't understand the question. Then he guessed you want batch_insert which can take a supercolumn.
If that doesn't help, perhaps you step back, try to explain what you want to achieve and rephrase the question.
Best way, IMHO, is to submit a request to add information about super columns into documentation into Net::Cassandra bug tracker.
batch_insert is one way like daxim says; another way is to just use normal insert but specify super_column in the ColumnPath as well as the column_family.
It looks like Net::Cassandra stays pretty close to the thrift api, so this should be useful: http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/API
